Good morning, it's Monday, October 12th, 2026, and this is Frigate NVR Updates.
The lead story is efficiency in the camera pipeline, with one merged change cutting tracking processor time dramatically and related work tightening how frames and ffmpeg processes are handled.
The headline is PR 24640, commit bc06b8c. It runs Open C V single-threaded in camera tracking processes, after finding its default thread pool spun idle threads while working on small motion and detection regions. On a 16-thread machine replaying 720p clips at 5 frames per second, tracking processor time fell from…
The second theme is modernization and warning cleanup. Merged PR 23641 moves off deprecated Fast API startup events to lifespan handling, migrates to Pydantic's Type Adapter validation, and replaces pytz with native timezone support plus zone info and tzdata, including normalized timezone name lookup. Merged PR…
Finally, usability: merged PR 24637 fixes deep links. Opening a review link from a notification while logged out now carries that destination through login and returns you there, instead of dropping you on the home page, with only same-origin targets honored.
What's next: test custom ffmpeg…
